Um no. Stories are not lies, they are made up but not passed of as truth: everything LeGuin just said in that article you are commenting on.

I saw a whole show about that tunnel, it’s pretty amazing. They even hired psychologists to make sure people don’t fall into a trance going through the long tunnel.

i’m a swede and every spring when i was little me and my friends ran around in the forest yelling to welcome spring, like ronja did, haha.

For us Norwegians, having long ass road tunnels through mountains isn´t enough, and we have therefore decided to make the “second longest” underwater road tunnel in the world; Ryfast, which is a two-part tunnel consisting of one 14,3 km tunnel and one 5,7 km tunnel at 290 meters beneath sea level. Luckily, we are not…

Tunneling as a means to replace California highways is a bad idea. when a road sees thousands of cars an hour, accidents are bound to occur. an accident in a tunnel is much harder to clear and possible resulting fires are significantly more dangerous.

We’re just waiting for the big one to happen up here:

The book IS that slow — and it’s a masterpiece of children’s literature (by Astrid Lindgren: Pippi Longstocking, The Brothers Lionheart, a dozen other classics.) Read it half a dozen times as a kid. The changing seasons, the long summer and harsh winter Ronja and Birk spend alone in the forest, their squabbles and…

I like that clip because it is a fantastic job of moving goalposts in real time.

“NOTHING HAPPENED”

Way to gloss over the fact that the novel upon which the show is based was written by the late Astrid Lindgren. Swedish national treasure, author of the Pippi Longstocking novels and, according to Wikipedia,

The probe should carry a copy of this movie so future aliens know why we went there.

The fact that something appears in the discussion section doesn’t mean the authors believe it or think it’s likely. When I write a discussion section, I have to put in crap my co-authors suggest, editors suggest, or stuff to be diplomatic so that my reviewers will accept my paper. Now their conclusion, that’s much…

May I submit:

I’m a Trump supporter but this whole #DumpStarWars debacle is just plain stupid. The ending was changed to make it less darker than its original cut and nothing to do with politics. Enjoy the movie for what it is.

Nice haul and all but I’m going to have to win to Erin purely because of the card Snoop wrote.

Well, here’s how these conversations feel as a person of color. A white person reaches out to you sometimes - as the only POC that they know. “Hey, can you explain this one thing to me?” Like, I’m Mexican-American, so they might say, for example, “Hey, can you tell me why people think Speedy Gonzales was a negative…

I’m having difficulty understanding Margaret Cho’s perspective here. It sounds like Tilda was up front about the issues, expressed her desire to do something about it and sought advice from someone who is in a good position to provide it. And Cho’s responses were thoughtful and measured as well. Not sure what got lost…

Funny how the same people who believe that Obama was born in Kenya, attended a madrassa in Indonesia, religiously attended a black supremacist christian church, (impossibly) reconciled the views of communism with those of hard line islamofascism and nazism; believe that he is the simultaneous leader of ISIS, the NWO,…
